John 8:33-41

Williams(i) 33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and we never have been anybody's slaves. How can you say to us, 'You will be set free'?" 34 Jesus answered them, "I most solemnly say to you, everyone who lives in sin is a slave of sin. 35 Now a slave does not live permanently in a household, but a son does. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be really free. 37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants, and yet you are trying to kill me, because there is no room in you for my teaching. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in my Father's presence, and you are practicing what you have learned from your father." 39 They answered Him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, you must be practicing what Abraham did. 40 But right now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that He has learned from God. Abraham never did that. 41 You are practicing what your real father does." They said to Him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one Father, even God."
